Princeton Holiday Gift Drive Deadline Extended to Nov. 20

The donor deadline for Princeton’s Human Services Department’s 17th annual Holiday Gift Drive has been extended to Nov. 20, municipal officials said on Monday.

For the past 17 years, Princeton Human Services, municipal employees, local businesses, and private donors have made the wishes of hundreds of Princeton children come true by providing them with at least one gift.

This year, the municipality has received 240 applications from children up to age 12. They have provided their holiday wish list which includes 1-2 gifts they would like for the holidays. Gifts are not to exceed $75.

Anyone interested in becoming a donor should call Princeton Human Services Department at 609-688-2055 between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. or send an e-mail to dforero@princetonnj.gov or eneira@princetonnj.gov.
